So one old man in the crowd voices his opinion (albeit in a tongue-in-cheek, facetious manner) and you post it here as evidence of hatred from the left?

Pathetic.

Ya you're right...the old man just wanted to send Thomas "back to the fields", most of the others just wanted to torture or string him up. :roll: Either way, if that had been a Tea Party gathering, the bashing would have been relentless. I'm going to go try and find similar vids with the same kind of rhetoric from those gatherings. We all know that it's only a matter of time before this out of control hate-filled rhetoric causes some nut job to lose it and go on a killing spree.

The interviewer knew what he was doing asking those leading questions: "So what do you think should be done with so-and-so?" "And what do you think should be done with so-and-so?" Clearly he was fishing. And the people he interviewed weren't being serious, as any honest person who watches the clip can see.

So obviously you would be opposed to the same tactics being used by a "news crew" interviewing people at a Tea Party rally. That's good to know.

I don't think any "news crew" - which in this case doesn't apply, as we're talking about an independent Youtube wanker with an agenda - would need to resort to such amateurish and transparent tactics at a Tea Party rally considering the crap they display on their placards. There'd be no provocation or baiting required at all. Just stick the mic under the noses of any random yahoo and let them dig themselves into a hole of their own making. It really would be all too easy.
I'm kind of surprised that the people on the above Youtube hackjob-piece didn't realize what was going on.
